Formula One has announced an eight-year extension of its partnership with Porsche.
The extension will see the Porsche Supercup continue to be supported by Formula One and remain on the FIA Formula One World Championship calendar till 2030 as a support series.
The series, which has been on the calendar since 1993, will feature during eight European rounds in 2023, starting in May with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and wrapping up at the Italian Grand Prix in September.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Japan and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia will also continue to be a part of the Formula One support programme.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO, Formula One, commented:
“For more than 30 years Porsche has been an important part of the Formula 1 weekend. I’m looking forward to continuing our long-standing relationship which delivers something special for our fans across our European season and beyond. It is yet another sign of our growth and influence as a platform that major brands want to continue to expand their relationships with us and the potential that is there for all our partners.“
Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport, said:
“The Porsche Supercup has been a regular fixture on selected Formula 1 weekends since 1993. And this isn’t about to change: Both parties have agreed to an eight-years contract extension. This underlines the great level of trust that Formula 1 has put in our concept and our team, as much today as for the last 30 years.“
Michael Dreiser, Sales Director Porsche Motorsport, added:
“Formula 1 is the ideal platform for drivers and teams in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup to demonstrate their prowess at the highest international level. The best from Porsche’s national one-make cups come together in the Supercup. I’m also proud of the fact that the respective national Porsche Carrera Cups will continue as part of the support programme at several Formula 1 events outside Europe in the future. We will also maintain our presence in North America and even further expand our involvement.“
